The Chutney Bar,

Gippsland VIC 3996

"Visited twice for takeaway, food was average-ish, butter chicken very sweet, garlic naan with barely enough garlic to taste it. I was surprised at the price of the meals, very expensive.The restaurant seating itself is not very inviting, very basic and plain. I did like the fact they wrapped the containers with glad wrap to stop leaking…However, I cant see this place surviving long unless they take note of these reviews and make some big changes."

"You've got to think carefully b4 posting negative feedback. After all, it's someone's business. But we spent big bucks and were disappointed. Ordered online to pick up a half hr later. On arrival, the food was sitting in a plastic bag, tied off. The onion bhagis were not crispy. They would have been, but had sweated in the plastic bag. They lamb rogan josh was ridiculously salty and went in the bin. My wifes roti had not been salted and was not crispy. My naam bread was good as were the vegetable samosas and coconutrice. Service was average, and the ambience did not invite a sit-in meal. Will not be back, unfortunately"

"Amazing experience with authentic fresh delicious traditional Indian cuisine! Shammiji is an excellent host, looking after customers with genuine care. Ramji, the chef, is awesome, brought in specially from India. Raj provides great service. Thanks for the yummy Gulab jamming, fitting end to fish Amritsari, chicken vindaloo and buttery naans. Highly recommend! Great value for money. Will be back!!"

"I love Indian food and was excited to try this place. Got a Punjabi chicken and a Biriyani Chicken... neither was good. Asked for medium heat, there was none. Lots of meat, which for the high price, should have been true but it was overcooked and tough. A disappointing experience and won't be patronising again."

"Compact cosy dining. The place itself presents very average. Food looked good and I thought they tasted like most other Indian restaurants as well. However not too salty, which I liked most. I thought the place were very pricey! $20 for even just a veggie dish or $9 for rice. Not the best value for money. Plus average set up was not inviting. That's why 3 stars. We would not be trying again. Nonetheless, if you are in town and don't mind spending the money in a tight space, it might be a place for you."
